How do people find mentors? 🧙‍♂️ I wish I could get advice on "What people wish they did when they were early in their career?" or "How do I maximize my chances for gradschool?", etc. Feels like I'm walking in the dark most of the times, trying to change that! 🙏

I don't think we talk enough about how amazing University of Waterloo is and what even top computer science programs can learn from them. Chintan Turakhia🛡️ and I left a chat with Coinbase's recruiting team saying "more Waterloo" for new eng hires and interns. Here's why 🧵

HIGHLY recommend students to do this. 🔥 Building Dune dashboards during university taught me: - how to write optimized, accurate SQL queries - protocol design (how DEXs & vaults work) - how to tell a story via data & most importantly, landed internships at Base and flashbots

This is really cool! Merkle mountain ranges let you add data without recalculating the entire tree 🤯

Jack Zhang Have you spent several months actually using stablecoins/wallets/dapps or just reading about them? Stablecoins do 2 critical things: 1. Remove “authority” friction AND 2. Give users discrete units of value that can easily move from app-to-app on a global settlement network

User feedback: when I tried offramping USDC into CAD, it ended up being cheaper to use a CEX than to swap into CADC and offramp. it wasn't even a large amount. while stablecoins will eventually outcompete legacy systems, it still has a long way to go!

I figured out how Plasma deposits work 7 hours before their vault goes live!

When you lend your stocks, Robinhood takes 85% of your earnings. 💸 What if you could keep 100% of it?
